Subject: x86, kaslr: Handle Gold linker for finding bss/brk

commit 70b61e362187b5fccac206506d402f3424e3e749 upstream.

When building with the Gold linker, the .bss and .brk areas of vmlinux
are shown as consecutive instead of having the same file offset. Allow
for either state, as long as things add up correctly.
